about

This was written with Steve Chrismar (George Thorogood) and recorded at my West L.A. studio in the mid 1990's. As always, Steve's playing great guitar on this. Kenny Gradney (from Little Feat) on bass, Tony Braunagel (Bonnie Raitt) on drums and Jon Strider on keyboards, vocals. It was intended as a demo, but it fit BAR WAR album concept so well, I decided to go with it.. It's source was analog tape. Mastering engineer, Paul Mahern, did a brilliant job tucking this song into the rest of the album which was recorded in Sweden.

lyrics

RECIPE FOR TROUBLE
(Strider/Chrismar)
Take a good timin’ woman
And a jealous hearted man
Pour a little bit of whiskey
Put a heater in his hand

That’s a Recipe For Trouble
That’s a Recipe For Trouble
You can smell it in the kitchen
You can hear it in the hall
That’s a Recipe For Trouble, that’s all

Dress a little girl in short skirts
Heels and high cut hose
Put her right down on the corner
Mister, everybody knows

That’s a Recipe For Trouble
That’s a Recipe For Trouble
When the times get tought
And the money comes up tight
That’s a Recipe For Trouble in the night

(Instrumental solo - electric guitar - Steve Chrismar)

The whole world’s cryin’ mercy
And the lights are flashin’ red
You’re bound to deal with bad luck
When the devil’s in your bed___

Take a young man, with a bad plan
Make his whole life on the street
Send him out for dirty money
In that shooting gallery

That’s a Recipe For Trouble
That’s a Recipe For Trouble
Gonna shake up your
Gonna tear right through your town
That’s a Recipe For Trouble comin’ down
That’s a Recipe For Trouble
That’s a Recipe For Trouble
Gonna shake up your city
Gonna tear right through your town
That’s a Recipe For Trouble comin’ down
